To install the Oracle 11g database on Ubuntu, first download Ubuntu with a generic kernel from Ubuntu, and then release the link.

Installing on 12.0 is explained here

Another aproach is to setup a docker container with Oracle 11g. Since Ubuntu is not a supported operating system, in can be much easier.

Here are the steps to install Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition:

I. Firstly install docker (if not installed) :

  1. sudo apt-get update

  2. sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

  3. curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

  4. sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

  5. sudo apt-get update

  6. sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

(source https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository)

II. Download and extract database files

  1. Download Oracle installation files https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/112010-linx8664soft.html

  2. Unzip both files so you have a single "database" folder. Place this "database" folder somewhere and name it e.g "installation_folder"

III. Setup docker container:

  1. sudo docker pull jaspeen/oracle-11g

  2. sudo docker run --privileged --name oracle11g -p 1521:1521 -v /path/to/installation_folder:/install jaspeen/oracle-11g

IV. Use it. E.g. connect with SqlDeveloper (port 1521, SID orcl), or use sqlplus:

  1. sudo docker ps -a Get container [YOUR_CONTAINER_ID]

  2. sudo docker exec -it [YOUR_CONTAINER_ID] /bin/bash

  3. su - oracle

  4. sqlplus / as sysdba
